Lonely Attacks

[Jagster]

So every once in a frequent while, every couple nights or so, I get what I call a "lonely attack." Basically, the best way to explain it is that something (like music) triggers me to go in to a depressed mode. I usually listen to songs about relationships, but even without that trigger, it still happens. I mainly think that it is because of me being isolated from gay people my own age, so I have no one to date.

Any diagnoses?

I have that as well. It could just be stress, or it could be depression.

This happens to me far too often for my liking. I know exactly what you mean; but in all honesty it's a product of overthinking/letting your mind wander where it might not need to. Try to not worry about things as much - try letting them go without worry - certain things aren't necessary to think about at night (or at least from what I've found). When I let my mind wander as much as it pleases I end u[ very unhappy, thinking too much about things and working myself up into a worry.

I have the same things happen to me. It's usually early in night, and im listening to sad music. When it happens i shut down emotionally, except for my feeling sad for myself. I usually just mope areoun for a lil bit. Maybe let a tear slip out. And i'm good. I have been getting them a lot more frequently lately. *sigh* i guess i now have a name for it.
